Vermilion Lakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This page refers to the lakes in Banff, Alberta, Canada. For other uses, see Vermilion Lake
The Vermilion Lakes are a series of lakes located on the outskirts of Banff, Alberta, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
The three lakes are formed along the Bow River valley, in the Banff National Park, a short distance from the Trans-Canada Highway, at the foot of Mount Rundle. A hot spring is found at the third lake.

Archeological evidence proves human activity around the lakes dating back 10,800 years[1]. The site was excavated by Parks Canada's Daryl Fedje, and found remains of campsites and obsidian tools.
Activities on and around the lakes include canoeing, wildlife watching, hiking.
